Manufacturing or Recreating Handles

When a customer brings broken, missing, or unique handles to our CNC shop, the request is sometimes for a single piece - to repair an antique or heritage items.  Other times, customers want large-volume custom replication for a house restoration, commercial application, or to retail. Whether it’s a single heirloom handle or a large run, our process ensures precision, consistency, and high quality.

    Handle Creating Process

    Our CNC shop excels at producing distinctive handles, whether replicating intricate vintage designs or fabricating custom pieces for modern builds.

    The process involves two parts: design digitization and CNC machining.

    Design Digitization

    When a partial or broken handle exists, we digitize the remaining physical piece and then apply symmetry and interpolation to reconstruct the missing parts.

    If no sample exists, our designers create a file from scratch using example photos or dimensions and inspiration photos from the customer.

    CNC Machining

    After we have an approved design, we use one of our three ShopSabre machines to expertly route the file onto the approved material.

    For replications, some customers choose to stay true to the original material while other prefer a modern, or more durable option.

    For new projects, customers can choose from our in-stock or specially-ordered materials.

    Integrated Handle Pulls

    One of our more unique projects involved crafting drawer fronts with integrated handles - a sleek finishing detail that gave the space a clean, modern look without sacrificing functionality.

    Antique Gun Handle Replication

    Our CNC shop produced walnut replacement parts for an antique gun handle restoration. Using customer-supplied files, we routered the components to exact specifications before shipping them for finishing and installation.

      Can you replicate without a physical sample?

      It's easier to manufacture a handle reproduction with a sample, but it's not necessary. We have talented designers that can create a model without a physical sample.
